102: Seven Days of Fame
Ken ran that moment. Behind him, the Mountain Devouring Beast tore through the cavern, and every step landed like a hammer on the world's anvil.BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!Dust rained from the ceiling. Ken glanced over his shoulder, and his stomach sank. Level 40 against his Level 22. Strength was a losing road."Xiao Li!"The scorpion flared, and green mist billowed behind them. Ken vanished into it. "Thunder Step!"BOOM!He leapt the underground river, and the beast plunged after him. Its stride faltered the moment it splashed through the poisoned water.'Wait. It's slowing down.'"It's afraid of the poison," he panted.Mirinda's voice rippled through his soul. "Not afraid. The poison is weakening whatever controls it.""Controls it? You couldn't have mentioned that ten minutes ago?""You didn't ask ten minutes ago.""I was busy being chased!""Look at its forehead, Ken."He looked. The black metal shard between its horns pulsed with a sickly glow, and the strange symbol writhed like a livin
101: The Beast Below the Mountain
"Father."The word rang through Ken's soul like a bell struck in an empty temple.His eyes flew wide. "What did you call me?"The White Tiger gave no answer. Its head hung half-trapped in the cracked cocoon, and its enormous white eye drifted shut again, as though the word had cost it everything.BOOM!Ken's soul convulsed. Something hurled him out of his own consciousness, and the world went black.He was falling. Wind screamed past his ears. Darkness swallowed everything."Ken!"Suzuki's voice drifted down from somewhere far above. He twisted his neck and caught a glimpse of her through the collapsing passage, a tiny figure fading fast.'Think. Don't panic. Think.'He circulated his Beast Qi, but he was only a Level 22 Beast Master. Flying was a fantasy."Thunder Step!"Purple lightning detonated beneath his feet, and his descent slowed, but only slightly. There was nothing below him to push against."Ken!" Suzuki lunged, her fingers stretching toward him.Then a second collapse tor
100: The Awakening Begins
CRACK.A tiny white claw pushed through the seam of the cocoon, and Ken's whole body locked in place.For the first time, he could actually see what lived inside. Not the full White Tiger, not yet. Just a sliver of paw, pale as bone. And still the pressure pouring off it was enough to make his entire soul space shudder like a held breath finally let go."Mirinda..." His voice came out barely above a whisper.She appeared beside the cocoon, and for once her composure had cracked too. "Don't touch it.""Why not?""Because it's answering the poisonous flame."Ken looked down at his own palm. The green fire coiled slow and patient through his meridians. "So the flame's doing this?""Not exactly." Mirinda drifted closer to the cocoon but stopped well short of it, like even she didn't trust the distance. "The flame is acting like a key."His eyes narrowed. "A key to the seal?"She nodded. "Something sealed your White Tiger Martial Spirit long before you ever met me. The flame's been quietly
99: The Crack in the Cocoon
Thump. Thump. Thump. Ken went rigid mid-step, the easy smile sliding off his face like water off stone. The tiny green scorpion, Xiao Li, stayed curled contentedly around his finger, oblivious. Ken barely felt it there anymore. His attention had turned entirely inward, to the soul space where the white cocoon lived. It had cracked. Only a hairline fracture — but pressure was leaking through it, and his whole soul space trembled under the weight of it. "Mirinda?" No answer. His jaw tightened. "Mirinda!" Her voice arrived a few seconds late, and thinner than he'd ever heard it. "I'm here." "What happened?" "The poisonous flame reacted with the cocoon." Ken glanced down at Xiao Li, still oblivious, still curled around his finger like nothing in the world was wrong. "The flame did this?" "Yes." "Why?" Silence stretched long enough that Ken's patience ran out. "You don't know?" "I have a theory." "Then tell me. Now isn't the time to be careful with me." "Your White Tiger Marti
98: The Poisonous Beast King
"Heavenly Beast bloodline…"The words rolled through the chamber and Ken's mind went briefly, completely blank. The creature's golden eyes stayed locked on him, unblinking.Suzuki's grip tightened on her weapon. "What did it just say?"Ken couldn't answer, not with words, anyway. Inside his soul, the White Tiger cocoon had started trembling. Thump. Thump. Thump. He crushed his soul power flat before it could betray anything more."Don't respond to it," Mirinda said."Why not?""Because we don't know how much it can actually sense."Fair point. Maybe it had mistaken something else for a Heavenly bloodline. Maybe it knew exactly what it was looking at. Either way, confirming anything would be idiotic.Ken raised his weapon. "Everyone, get ready." Lu stepped up beside him. "Ready to attack?""No. Ready to not die."The giant creature shifted one massive leg, BOOM, and the injured beast in front of Ken let out a low growl. The golden eyes flicked to it."You. You stole what's mine."The b
97: The Beast That Ran
"Ken, don't!" Suzuki grabbed his arm before he could step into the deeper passage. Behind them the tunnel kept collapsing, BOOM, a slab of stone crashing down, dust rolling over the outer disciples as they scrambled back. Seven looked between Ken and the dark. "Whatever made that poison beast run isn't something we want to meet. We should leave." "I know." "Then why are your feet pointed the wrong way?" Seven threw his hands up. "'I know' isn't an answer, Ken, it's a stall tactic. You know plenty of things and do the opposite anyway." Ken almost smiled despite himself, eyes still fixed on the fading green glow ahead. "Because it was afraid." "So?" "So a Level 28 Beast Master doesn't get afraid of anything in this part of the outer sect. That means something down there outranks it badly." He started walking. "I need to see what." Suzuki let go of his arm, only to plant herself in his path. "Then we're coming with you." "No." "You don't get to decide that alone." "I
